Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial diversity in the deep sea and the underexplored “rare biosphere”
Mitchell L. Sogin,Hilary G. Morrison,Julie A. Huber,David B. Mark Welch,Susan M. Huse,Phillip R. Neal,Jesús M. Arrieta,Gerhard J. Herndl +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that bacterial communities of deep water masses of the North Atlantic and diffuse flow hydrothermal vents are one to two orders of magnitude more complex than previously reported for any microbial environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial population structures in the deep marine biosphere.
Julie A. Huber,David B. Mark Welch,Hilary G. Morrison,Susan M. Huse,Phillip R. Neal,David A. Butterfield,Mitchell L. Sogin +6 more
TL;DR: It is predicted that hundreds of thousands of sequences will be necessary to capture the vast diversity of microbial communities, and that different patterns of evenness for both high- and low-abundance taxa may be important in defining microbial ecosystem dynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water mass-specificity of bacterial communities in the North Atlantic revealed by massively parallel sequencing.
TL;DR: The results reveal that deep‐water masses act as bio‐oceanographic islands for bacterioplankton leading to water mass‐specific bacterial communities in the deep waters of the Atlantic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of PCR amplicon size on assessments of clone library microbial diversity and community structure
Julie A. Huber,Hilary G. Morrison,Susan M. Huse,Phillip R. Neal,Mitchell L. Sogin,David B. Mark Welch +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the length of the target amplicon has a significant effect on assessments of microbial richness and community membership, and it is clear that the smallest amplicon libraries contained more different types of sequences, and accordingly, more diverse members of the community.
